Chapter 518 can be done, but there are conditions.
Chapter 518 can be done, but there are conditions.
Xu Si hovered above the Tiger Caravan camp, his scarlet star power flowing across his body, casting a dark red halo over the night sky.
He looked down at the "little train" below and a "robot" with red eyes.
The little train was much older than when they first saw it. It now consisted of seven or eight peculiar carriages linked together, each wrapped in thick steel plates with densely packed spikes welded to its surface, resembling a steel centipede lying on the riverbank.
The front of the car still retains some of the Tigers team's logo, but it has been completely covered up by multiple modifications.
"You guys are... completely mechanized?" Xu Si recalled the scene just now, and the strange things he sensed about this convoy.
When they first met, there were only occasional mechanical prosthetics, but what he just saw and felt told him that the entire convoy was made up of robots.
Their appearance may still retain the outline of a human, just like the robot in front of us, which no longer has complete flesh and blood tissue.
"Hehe, isn't this great? No need to eat, no need to sleep, and you can't smell anything strange."
"I also preserved their complete consciousness. In a sense, wouldn't that count as immortality?" Wang Yanhua said indifferently.
His transformation was even more radical; he is now essentially a pure soul, with no physical body remaining.
Xu Si frowned slightly.
There are many ways for a caravan to survive in the apocalypse, and he has certainly seen it all now.
However, he was certain that Wang Yanhua's sequence was at least genuine.
Perhaps there really is a way to deal with Jiao Jiao's soul.
"You can control souls, is that true?" Xu Si went straight to the point.
"Of course." Wang Yanhua's headlights flashed twice, as if he were blinking.
"I'm currently a Sequence 4 Soul Guardian, but I could have been a Sequence 1! What? What do you need my help with?"
A glint of light flashed in Xu Si's eyes.
"I now have a soul and a body. Can you reunite them?" This was Xu Si's purpose in coming here.
"Dead? Alive?" As soon as Wang Yanhua asked this question, Xu Si knew he had come to the right person.
"What's the difference?"
"It will take some effort to kill them!"
"What about the ones that are still alive?"
"Even keeping them alive requires some effort!"
"It mainly depends on whether the soul is intact and whether the body is intact," Wang Yanhua added, seeing Xu Si's ashen face.
"It doesn't matter if your physical body is incomplete. I'll have Lao Fu create a perfect mechanical body for you. Customization is supported. But if your soul is incomplete, there's nothing I can do. Even if you put it into a body, it won't help."
Jiao Jiao's face flashed through Xu Si's mind, along with the radiant smile that appeared on her face after the source of the plague took over her body.
"The soul is intact. The physical body... has also been repaired."
"Oh? That makes things much simpler!"
Wang Yanhua's headlights suddenly lit up, and he immediately became interested. You see, storing these two separately, no matter which one you choose, is not an easy task.
"What are your conditions?" Xu Si still wanted to clarify the price before discussing anything else.
"No rush, let me see how your body and soul are recovering before we discuss the price!" Wang Yanhua was optimistic about this deal.
From the moment Xu Si traveled all this way to be here, this deal was destined to fall through.
Xu Si remained silent for a few moments.
He glanced down at the black tower on his wrist, then at the space cloak.
Jiao Jiao's physical body has been transferred to the Black Building, where Wan Liuchun personally guards it, while her soul is also in the Black Building.
Xu Si didn't know how or how to get them out.
"My body and soul are no longer in my body," Xu Si said.
Wang Yanhua's headlights flashed twice, as if he were rolling his eyes.
"Then what are you talking about?"
"But you can come with me to see it."
Wang Yanhua's horn emitted a short, sharp sound, as if expressing some complex emotion.
"Go see it with you? Do you know how far we are from you? Thousands of miles away, how can I go see it for you? You're not joking, are you?"
"You don't need to run around," Xu Si said.
Wang Yanhua didn't understand.
Then he felt his soul being extracted from the car by an invisible force.
"Hey hey hey—" Wang Yanhua's horn emitted a series of panicked sirens, and seven or eight carriages shook violently in the air, like a snake whose tail had been grabbed.
"What are you doing? Put him down! Old Fu! Old Fu, say something!"
"Hey buddy, let's talk this out!"
Fu Qiangmin, who had been silent until now, could no longer sit still. However, judging from the force Xu Si had just displayed, they really had no means to stop him.
So all he could say were polite words.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Xu Si simply wanted to invite him to visit the Black Building.
When Wanliuchun appeared, Lao Fu didn't even bother to say anything to ease the tension.
If Xu Si still cared about human relationships, then he wouldn't have this psychological burden regarding the strange phenomenon.
So Wang Yanhua was bound into the Black Building without any trouble by the red rope that Wanliuchun used to keep him there.
Perhaps it would be more convenient to operate here.
Deep within the dark building.
In that gray and white void, Jiao Jiao's soul quietly leaned against the window, repeating the same actions she had been repeating for who knows how long.
The girl's face was serene, with a faint smile always playing at the corners of her lips.
It was exactly the expression on Xu Si's face when he last saw her in his memory.
Wanliuchun floated to the side, her bare feet hovering above nothingness, her snow-white skirt fluttering gently in this windless space.
Although she has the ability to control the soul, she is far from being able to reinfuse the soul into the body.
Wang Yanhua was in a rather disheveled state at the moment.
After entering the Black Building, his soul broke free from the "little train's" restraints and reformed into a semi-transparent outline that still vaguely resembled a human.
The details of the facial features are no longer very distinct, but the overall shape is still relatively intact.
"This...this is..." His voice was weak, carrying a hollow echo unique to souls.
"Stop talking nonsense and see if this soul is feasible." Wan Liuchun's voice was not loud, but Wang Yanhua's soul visibly trembled.
She glanced at Xu Si seemingly casually. The reason she preserved Jiao Jiao's soul was that the human and the ghost coexisted peacefully.
If Jiao Jiao's soul cannot be used, then...
Wang Yanhua could only proceed with the investigation with peace of mind.
Jiao Jiao's soul was more complete than Wang Yanhua had imagined.
It is not a fragmented state that needs to be pieced together, but a nearly complete form of existence that is only lacking a vessel.
The grayish-white mist flowed slowly across her body, like an invisible swaddling cloth, enveloping her and preventing her from dissipating in the long wait.
"The soul is okay? What about the body?" Wang Yanhua continued.
That's enough. Even without a physical body, Lao Fu can still create a mechanical one by hand.
Wan Liuchun visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Si's figure emerged from the void.
He glanced at Wang Yanhua, then looked at Wan Liuchun.
In the void, a wine-red mummy was gently pulled out by Wanliuchun with a red rope.
Even without getting too close, Wang Yanhua could sense that the body was alive.
"The soul is intact, and the body... is also intact." Wang Yanhua's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
No wonder he was able to advance to Sequence 8; he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Can you do it?" Xu Si asked directly.
"I can do it, but there are conditions." Wang Yanhua did not abandon his principles because he was imprisoned.
If he could possess that dragon's body, he might be able to stand on equal footing with Xu Si, and it wouldn't be a dream to rise from Sequence 4 to a higher sequence in one fell swoop.
My computer is acting up. I clicked on an update today, and now the Wi-Fi is gone. Does this happen to all Dell computers? This is the second time this has happened. I'm seriously considering getting a new computer! It's driving me crazy.
